Apple Inc on Tuesday released a series of artist renderings of
its proposed second campus, which the company hopes to begin
building by 2015. The project will officially be called
Apple Campus 2, though many people involved in the design have
started referring to the building as the Apple “Mothership”
because of its circular main structure, pictured above.
The project will cover 175 acres and the main structure will
encompass 2.8 million square feet for offices and labs in
addition to a 1,000 seat auditorium, fitness center and
more.

The plan calls for much of the parking space to be located
underground so that the land around the main building can be
landscaped with lush vegetation indigenous to the area.
The land where Apple's future headquarters will be built was
purchased from Hewlett Packard last year. Jobs informed
the Cupertino city council in June that he hopes to break
ground in 2015. The city's official website indicates
that the city still needs to hold public hearings, review
development plans and assess the project's environmental
impact, but Mayor Gilbert Wong has indicated the project will
go through.

“There is no chance that we’re saying no,” Wong said back in
June when Jobs first presented the plan to city officials.
